Today's serving of HAMMER-centric dialogue is ready.

As the HAMMER-ERC team prepares for the holiday weekend, we are also practicing our pitch. Happy Thanksgiving, Hank.

Heading to a holiday gathering? Explaining HAMMER takes a minute— 3.5 hours less than cooking a turkey.🦃🍽️ Here’s the pitch: “Imagine a robotic blacksmith in a high-tech factory combining digital and physical tools to create custom, high-quality parts in real time.”

Northland HS students toured MSE teaching labs Ohio State. They were introduced to metal casting & tensile/compression testing before practicing metallography and using optical microscopes. Lastly, 3rd yr Buckeye engineers shared their college experiences.
